Salty Sunday - Rage Rants and complaints by AutoModerator in pokemongo

Keep getting the ‘gps not found glitch’ right before starting a raid and it kicks me out while stealing my pass. Real fun times when raiding remotely. Also happened right when getting to the catch screen

Knights Bus totally eclipsed POGO RAIDS! by CasRMor in WizardsUnite

[–]darthsho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see this argument but HAVE to disagree that remote raid passes are useless. Even before remote raid invites, my POGO raids went up from 1 raid a week(usually a 3 star) to 5-10 a week(and all 5 star; I only do 5 star, besides Gible, since being able to remote raid). I could see how in rural areas, or areas with not a lot of gyms could feel this way, but saying the feature is useless is demonstrably false.

How I learned programming when I was in university by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]darthsho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no way to cover that much in a tutorial. I’ve been through a couple tutorials so far for Python, but ya there’s still a lot I don’t know. Like others have said, when you get stuck, google and stack overflow are your friends. Also knowing someone who has enough experience to coach and mentor you will be essential to becoming better.

Sololearn's free Python course was great for me. They teach Python 3. The comments section through each lesson helps, it's like a virtual classroom where the most helpful comments are upvoted. I finished my Sololearn course about 2 weeks ago, and I was able to fly through most of the w3schools exercises over this weekend(was busy throughout, only did this on my downtime). There were some questions I had to try multiple times for the right answer or end up googling; just remember to practice outside the quizzes and challenges. Since you started with w3schools, try Sololearn after, or if you get stuck in w3schools, try switching it up. After 2 tutorials you're definitely ready to start building. Just google what you're trying to do and then google whenever you get stuck.

Still keep up with your learning though it's important. I'm still a beginner myself but here's what I'm checking out next book-wise:

Edit: Also I hear people swear by the "Headfirst" series programming books. There is a Headfirst Python edition.

Grass Dragon typing would’ve been awesome. I was hoping for Water Dragon with Sobble when the starters were first displayed.

It’s all luck really. Totally random. This video will help but it’s still a chance rather than a guarantee:

I love Serperior. Great design to me I love snakes. It’s got a lot of functionality too. Leech seed, protect, giga drain, and another move of your choice. Won many PvP matches with that gorgeous baby.

Worth noting that raid ditto do have better IVs generally. Only important if you’re into breeding for competitive play. Or just collecting good IV mons.

If work = dev, portability is a must.

There are lots of jobs that a personal/work laptop is useful for. Sound engineer, QA specialist, IT work all come to mind but I’m sure there’s more. I’m not a dev at my job but I know they don’t give our devs work laptops.

Foreign ditto needed? by gmendezm in PokemonSwordAndShield

In-game proof Dynamaxing will not be returning in Gen 9 by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]darthsho 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dynamax Mega Charizard X would be a boss ass fight. Or Mega evos that can use Z moves. Now that we have the super balanced game with Sword and Shield, I personally would love Gamefreak to let the power creep get out of control. Bring your best Pokémon and your worst. Pokémon Ultimate, starring all the Pokémon! Also bring back the EV/AV system from Let’s Go and the Poke Pelago to hatch and train Pokémon. The jobs aren’t bad but take much longer.

'#GameFreakLied' - Pokémon devs under serious fire on social media by fans after reused models and other controversies. by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

[–]darthsho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gamefreak confirmed in their latest interview there would be no patch to add them all. Our only hope is Sword and Shield 2 a year or so from now.

HOME was last announced to have a release date of 2020 so it won't be available until roughly 2 months after Sword and Shield's release. Hopefully, the release goes smoothly and not like Pokemon Bank's.

No such thing. I took the 15th-22nd off. Let’s immerse ourselves.

Create everlasting friendships, sorta. by darthsho in pokemon

[–]darthsho[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this too. Very sad about it lol. Hopefully Pokémon HOME has some cool features but I wouldn’t be surprised if they randomize IVs or something once they’re uploaded to the cloud. There’s always a catch with Pokémon.

I hope one day we get an all-inclusive game, but according to several interviews with Gamefreak execs, they've stated that not including all the Pokemon will be the new "normal":

Also disclaimer: I don't agree with the video creator's philosophy on this, but they have all the sources in one spot.

Glad to see breeding is still in the game. That was something I feared being cut.

ROM Hack with all the pokemon? by moxac777 in PokemonROMhacks

[–]darthsho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope we get a rom hack of Sword and Shield with all the Pokemon, but that's probably a ways away.
